Question about Alimony/child support in TX
I'm just about to file for divorce from my WH of 20 years. Can anyone tell me if you were able to get alimony? My WH is a CEO/Founder of a company in Houston. I have not worked in 17 years because I took care of our 2 kids. One is 17 and one is 16.
My fear is that he will only have to pay be child support for one of the kids for 2 years. I have no clue what kind of work I can get, especially with Covid. How am I supposed to live when this is over.
He makes well over $200,000. How is it fair that he leaves when the kids are almost 18 so I won't get much support. I supported him while he was in school at the beginning of our marriage but we decided I should stay home shortly after my 2nd child was born. Now I'm 50 years old, diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Anxiety because of him. Maybe he's just hoping I'll die.
If anyone had a similar story- please tell me how I can get some support from him.
Oh and also, his Dad who loves me like a daughter is a millionaire. So if he can divorce me before anything happens to him- I get none of that.
